Main research topics:
• Morpho-physio-ecological responses of plants to environmental abiotic stresses.
• Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in plants
Biological interactions between plant and environment -mosses, lichens, and aquatic plants as biomonitors of terrestrial ecosystems and bioaccumulation of heavy metals; effects of heavy metals on the morphogenesis of higher plants and bryophytes; the cyto-physio-ecological response of plants to the presence of pollutant; use of aquatic plants in phytoremediation projects. In particular: tissue and cell localization of heavy metals and their influence on morphogenesis and ultrastructure. Biochemical/physiological response of toxic-tolerant plants to heavy metals: phytochelatins, Heat Shock Proteins, the activity of the antioxidant enzyme, genic activation/inhibition. Monitoring of heavy metal environmental pollution using mosses, lichens, and aquatic plants.
